Holland, Mich.--Though a snow day was not necessarily expected on Monday,
many students and teachers in the Holland Public Schools district were glued to
their TV’s, waiting to see if there could be a cancellation. Holland
Christian, West Ottawa, Zeeland Public, and even Careerline Tech Center were
all closed on Monday morning, but Holland Public’s activities went on as
scheduled. Although some were disappointed when they did not receive an extended weekend, some focused on the positives of attending school.
Monday was Comfort Day at Holland High School, as the first
installment of activities for Spirit Week. “We are all here wearing comfy
clothes and learning,” tweeted New Tech English and Journalism teacher Jay
Woods. A silver lining for him was that “traffic was much lighter on the way to
school [Monday].”
Even students found reasons to enjoy being in school.
Holland New Tech sophomore Sean Hill had missed two previous
days of school. “I’m glad to be here in order to catch up on work,” he said.
(FYI- Nimbostratus clouds produce precipitation).
